Correct.  The article below does a good job explaining how the 3 point shoot has taken over college basketballl offenses.  Check out the percentage of 3s made over the last 5 years.  The 3 point shot is too easy right now and college coaches have finally figured this out.  They are valuing outside shooting a lot more than in the past and changing their strategies to try and get good looks from the 3 point circle.

Pushing the circle out will make it harder on offenses in general.  3 point percentages will go down and the number of 3s taken will get reduced significantly.  Offenses will have to work harder to get good shots.  All that will help out defense.

We have done a good job taking advantage of the short 3 point circle.on offense.  Lengthening it should not hurt our offense much (it really can’t get much worse).  Heck, from what I have seen of JGIII, another 18 inches won’t matter.  I suspect Buddy will be fine with the extra distance too.  This would have hurt Tyus and Frank a lot.  It seemed like almost all their 3s were barely outside the 3 point line (and it was pretty common to have some shot with a foot on the line).
